of the revenue steamer Corwin, for damages
for oyerhauling and boarding, in June last,
the American schooner Sierra, navigating
the North Pacific ocean, thirty miles north
of the shore of Oonalaska, on hunting and
fishing voyage, was called in the Admiralty
Court for the District of Massachusetts,
Friday. The damages claimed are 1921
Oonalaska is about $50 miles distant from
the islands of st. Paul and st. George. where
the seals are caught This industry is
wholly in the hands of a company, and 9TH
ers are forbidden to engage nit. The claim
is that the Sierra was intending to unlaw-
fully catch these seals. The question in
volved in the case is the jurisdiction of the
United States over the adjoining seas. The
suit is begun in Boston because Captain
Abbey is stationed there. The defendant
appeared Friday morning, and as soon as
the government is ready the case will be
pushed.

A SCHOONER SUNK.



The ferry boat Josephine Hoey ran into
and sunk the fishing schooner Village
Maid yesterday afternoon. The schooner
was coming up the harbor and was nearly
abreast of Custom House wharf when the
collision occurred The Hoey was making
her 1.15 O'Clock trip from Custom House
Wharf and had not fairly cleared the dock.
Captain 0rne, of the ferry boat, was looking
directly ahead towards the landing on the
Cape side. The ferryboat pilot house is an
old fashioned affair and is supplied with
small windows with wide board work be-
tween them. As Captain 0rne stood close
10 the front window his view to the right or
left was almost entirely cut off. He didn't
see the schooner and the man on the schoon-
er relying on the fact that it was the steam
er's business to keep out of their way, made
no effort to avoid the ferryboat until it was
too late.
The force of the collision was such that
the Hoey's bow was jammed into the schoon-
er's side with such force that the vessels
were pulled apart with difficulty.
The schooner was towed into the dock
where she sank. The Village Maid was
built at Kennebunk, is of about % tons bur
den, and is owned by Charles Dyer of this
city She will be repaired at once.
